It isn’t like a house at all.

I went into a house, and it wasn’t a house,

It has a big garden and great high wall;

But it hasn’t got a may-tree,

A may-tree,

A may-tree,

It isn’t like a house at all.

I went into a house and it wasn’t a house—

Slow white petals from the may-tree fall;

But it hasn’t got a blackbird,
